kristall is along with geminaut and lagrange, the perfect triptych for wandering the small web! until recently they were the only ones to pass (almost) torture tests [1]! highly recommended [1] gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/torture/

There is nothing about HTML/CSS/JS that prevents simplicity. It is purely how it has been used and abused. You can also disable JS and use user agent stylesheets in any modern web browser.
You can read a book on your tablet / laptop, or even watch a movie adaptation; or you can read a book on dead trees. Some people would like to recreate certain aspects of the "dead tree" experience without actually killing trees.
As someone who has come to prefer viewing web-pages in reader-mode rather than their default-layouts, I really love the idea of having a leaner, more minimalist web. Just pure content without all the bloat... How have I never heard about this before?

Does it know any new tricks that lynx can't do?
Lagrange (cross-platform) looks much better, and does zoom. In the terminal is nice too, I like Amfora (Golang single binary).

Can Lynx render Gemini markup?
Is there anything on gemini other than people talking about gemini? Not trying to be facetious but last time I looked I couldn't find anything. I'm sort of directionally sympathetic to their goals so I want it to be a case where there is great stuff there that I just didn't know how to find.

Fully agree. I am also wondering why simplicity needs its own protocol here. Striving for simplicity is more a philosophical than a technical task. Edit: The creation of new protocols and technical solutions alone increases cognitive complexity. From this point of view, it is even counterproductive if existing solutions can enable the same.
I think perhaps having their own protocol serve to encapsulate the community interested in this particular form of simplicity.
